§ 16. Mr. HAYDAYasked the Minister of Labour the total number of prosecutions for fraud on the Unemployment Fund for the six months ended 31st March, 1931; and what was the number 1786 of frauds by direct claims and the number on associated claims, together with the number of convictions respectively?
§ Miss BONDFIELDThe number of prosecutions was 502, and in 478 cases convictions were recorded. The statistics do not enable me to give separate figures for direct and association claims respectively.
§ Mr. HAYDAYIn view of the fact that two years ago the figures could be given separately, is there any reason why they cannot be given separately now?
§ Miss BONDFIELDI will ascertain, if my hon. Friend will put down a question.
